Sentimental 'time capsules' from the village school can have no place in a monument .


I do not agree with burying the time capsule in Silbury either, but the EH work with the school is the result of other pressures and criticisms that rightly indicated that more work had to be done to include the locals and the locale past and present. Cultural integration and reflection is now a requirement of UNESCO's re WHS status, and interesting to note at the very time when the MP for Salisbury is reported as writing to UNESCO and suggesting WHS status is removed from Stonehenge as the scheme hasn't been decided (lest we overlook that Stonehenge and Avebury is the WHS, not just the famous place) although unlikely, were it to happen Avebury and Silbury wouldn't qualify without such as the outreach work in the school. If the time capsule is 'buried' at the site of the school now it is closing or better still in the AK museum, all of this solved.
